for the respondent
HEARD:
April 10, 2003
On appeal from the judgment of Justice Ian V. B. Nordheimer of the Superior Court of Justice dated August 22, 2002
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1The statute recognizes that it may be desirable to have more complex cases heard by a judge. The statute does not, however, require this result. The decision as to whether or not to have a trial before a judge as opposed to a justice of the peace, therefore, becomes a matter of discretion.
2We see no reviewable error in the reasons of Nordheimer J. or Bishop J. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
3No costs.
